While most of the country is trying to keep Islamic terrorists out of the country, and prevent the growing number of Muslim ‘Americans’ from waging jihad in country or elsewhere, Barack Obama and his Illinois cohorts are doing just the opposite. They are bringing the most dangerous Islamic terrorists in custody to reside in the United States. From Breitbart via AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) – Taking an important step on the thorny path to closing the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the White House plans to announce Tuesday that the government will acquire an underutilized state prison in rural Illinois to be the new home for a limited number of terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo.
Administration officials as well as Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will make an official announcement at the White House.
Officials from both the White House and Durbin’s office confirmed that President Barack Obama had directed the government to acquire Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Ill., a sleepy town near the Mississippi River about 150 miles from Chicago. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting Tuesday’s announcement.
A Durbin aide said the facility would house federal inmates and no more than 100 detainees from Guantanamo Bay.
The Thomson Correctional Center was built by Illinois in 2001 as a state prison with the potential to house maximum security inmates. Local officials hoped it would improve the local economy, providing jobs to a hard-hit community. State budget problems, however, have kept the 1,600-cell prison from ever fully opening. At present, it houses about 200 minimum-security inmates.
Again, once these terrorists are housed in the United States, they will be released into the United States – free to wage jihad on Americans at taxpayer expense. If not, they will be held indefinitely without trial. Hypocrites.
If you live in or near Illinois there will be what should be a very large protest on December 22: Rally to Stop Gitmo Detainees from Coming to Illinois. Get there.
